Hello
Your question/use-case is quite vague and open ended. Do you mind narrowing down your question's scope to make sure we're on the same page?
Like what docs have you referred and what have you tried doing? You mentioned something about avoiding "copy" of a product? What are you currently seeing?
frank fractal
Yes, will describe it. By any chances in Discord you are providing live calls support? So I can show our system and how we want to integrate that
hallow wyvern
We don't do live calls unfortunately. Feel free to take your time to describe the usecase

A text version of the question.
We are building a common e-commerce website, with multiple items. We have a custom CRM where you can add a new items, and front-end website page that fetching all info about items (names, prices, descriptions). So if you have added an item in CRM it will automatically go live on website page.
So for now we need to connect that Buy button to Stripe links, the main concern right now, by what API we can push data from our CRM to Stripe form if customer want to Buy something.
We need to create some sort of link to that item, but we need to fill information about that product and create a copy on Stripe CRM technically
So for now if I want to sell something I need to add item on our CRM to show it on website, then go to Stripe Dashboard and do the same process, create a link with price etc, and connect it to our product page Buy button

Gotcha. Are you planning to use Stripe Hosted page/surface to collect the payment method details OR are you trying to build your own UI to collect payment method details?
frank fractal
We good with Stripe UI because its familliar for majaority of customers
Just need to figure out how to push our CRM data to create those Stripe links related to each product
With out* create copy of that product in Stripe Dashboard
Because a common situation, changing prices for example.
hallow wyvern
So if you purely want to control the Payment surface using the Product catalogue in your CRM system then you could use inline pricing with Checkout Sessions API - https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data
You can pass the price data on each request which will then create a new Price/Product object each time on Stripe (which you can mostly ignore)
frank fractal
So if you purely want to control the Payment surface using the Product catalogue...
Can I send it to my developers team and they will find all info under that link?
hallow wyvern
Yup
frank fractal
Thanks so much
hallow wyvern
You can share this link as well - https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment
it's a step by step guide

By using that method, we are vanishing security isnt it? Because only one way for Stripe to verify data its our CRM
hallow wyvern
Not sure what you mean.. Security of what exactly?
frank fractal
Can you inject data between our CRM and Stipe payment system? For example instead of 10K in invoice, push a 1K
Or that API will automatically create product on our Stripe profile instead of doing that manually, kind of auto-Import
hallow wyvern
The API calls will create the underlying objects automatically. These API calls can only be made with your Stripe account's API key.
As long as you keep the key secure, there's no security risk
frank fractal
So by simple words, we are giving access to our CRM info for Stripe, so you can match all information to create an Invoices?
hallow wyvern
we are giving access to our CRM info for Stripe, so you can match all information to create an Invoices
Not exactly. You're not giving us access to your CRM.
You're just sending us the info we need to accept a payment securely. This information is stored under various objects on Stripe and is used to create the Payment Page/Invoices.
If that makes sense^ 🙂
frank fractal
> we are giving access to our CRM info for Stripe, so you can match all informat...
You're just sending us the info we need to accept a payment securely
so that my concern, by any chance if we have bad security on CRM (its our problems), its it possible to create Payment Page with wrong data? Or we have to review each page on Stripe Dashboard before making it Live
hallow wyvern
If your API key is compromised due to a bug in your CRM then it's possible to create an unintended Payment Page with inaccurate info but your developers should be able to design your integration in a way that keeps the keys safe.
frank fractal
Ok, thatks so much) That will be our top priority
